Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs, finely crushed
- 5 Tbsp sugar
- 6 Tbsp butter, melted
Ice Cream Filling
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 5 original Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts, chopped
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the finely crushed graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust layer. Set aside while preparing the filling.
- Make the Ice Cream Filling: Pour the heavy whipping cream into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip the cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until fully combined without deflating the whipped cream.
- Add the Doughnuts: Carefully fold the chopped Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts into the whipped cream mixture, distributing them evenly throughout the filling without breaking them up too much.
- Assemble the Pie: Spread the ice cream filling evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover tightly with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.
- Freeze the Pie: Place the pie in the freezer and allow it to set for at least 6 hours or overnight to achieve a firm, sliceable texture. When ready to serve, remove the pie from the freezer and the springform pan. Let stand for 5-10 minutes at room temperature before slicing for easier cutting.
Notes
- Use a 9-inch springform pan for easy removal of the pie.
- Ensure the whipped cream is at stiff peaks to achieve the right ice cream texture.
- For best results, let the pie freeze overnight to fully set.
- Chop the doughnuts into bite-sized pieces for even distribution in the filling.
- This pie should be kept frozen until serving and can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 days.
